She was also one of the very few selected to perform a set of her originals at the 2012 SONG SUMMIT LIVE which included special guests such as Missy Higgins & Joel Madden.

Donna's songwriting also took her to spend several months in London to complete writing & recording her album 'Main Course' (single available on iTunes). Here she worked in Amy Winehouse's personal studio and was even fortunate enough to meet the extremely talented late artist.

Donna takes each of her classes seriously, believing in vocal precision and performance stature. She has even taught vocal lessons for Sony artists including Elen Levon.
